Ventricular fibrillation is a life-threatening heart rhythm disturbance where the heart's lower chambers (ventricles) quiver instead of pumping blood effectively. It causes a sudden loss of blood flow, leading to collapse, unconsciousness, and if untreated, sudden cardiac arrest. 🫀 What Happens: The electrical signals in the heart become chaotic, preventing the ventricles from contracting in a coordinated way. 🚨 It's a medical emergency. Immediate CPR and a shock from a defibrillator (AED) can restore normal rhythm and save a life. 🔍 Common causes include: -Heart attack -Cardiomyopathy -Electric shock -Congenital heart defects 🧠 Quick action saves lives. Learn CPR. Stay heart smart.
